“Pick a man, any man. Every guy I fall for becomes Jesus Christ within the first twenty-four hours of our relationship. I know that this happens, I see it happening, I even feel myself, sometimes, standing at some temporal crossroads, some distinct moment at which I can walk away and keep it from happening, but I never do. I grab at everything, I end up with nothing, and then I feel bereft. I mourn for the loss of something I never even had.” KnowsMenFeelsFirstsI CanEndsSometimesMomentsHappensGuyFallJesusChristHoursLossWalksFourHappeningsPicksJesus ChristStandingTwentiesOur RelationshipMournCrossroadsBereft Author:Elizabeth Wurtzel
“Well, it's New Year's now but I don't feel that way anymore. I wonder if you do either. Something's happening to me. It's like I'm shrinking smaller and smaller and I can't stp it. There's just os much wrong that I can't imagine the shame in admitting even the tiniest part of it. When you left it was like there was this huge gap to fill, but instead of spreading wide enough to do it I just fell right in, and I'm still falling. Like I'm half-asleep, and I can't wake up, can't wake up.” IfsWayFeelsYearsWellsStillsI CanEnoughFallLeftHalfWonderImagineHugeHappeningsWake UpShameWideGapsNew YearAdmittingShrinking Author:Sarah Dessen
“I can't believe it's actually happening. This is independent adulthood, this is what it feels like. Shouldn't there be some sort of ritual? In certain remote African tribes there'd be some incredible four day rites of passage ceremony involving tattooing and potent hallucinogenic drugs extracted from tree-frogs, and village elders smearing my body with monkey blood, but here,rites of passage is all about three new pairs of pants and stuffing your duvet in a bin-liner.” FeelsBelieveI CanBodyCertainThreeFourTreeBloodDrugHappeningsIndependentIncrediblesPairsVillageRitualPassagesPantsAdulthoodTribesMonkeysCeremonyEldersFrogsInvolvingRiteRite Of PassageHallucinogenic DrugsAfrican TribesDuvets Book:A Question of Attraction: A Novel Source: A Question of Attraction: A Novel
